People who live in the south Kansas City neighborhood where five people were shot, three fatally, talk about the people they lost and how they were glad to have not been around when the shots were fired.

POLICE WERE ABLE TO TELL HER. SCOTT? FOLKS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THEIR HOMES. THOSE CLOSEST TO THE CRIME SCENE WAITING THE LONGEST. I'VE LEARNED MANY ARE GRATEFUL THEY WERE NOT HOME WHEN THIS VIOLENCE PLAYED OUT. WHAT WAS A PEACEFUL AND QUITE CUL DE SAC WAS THE LEAST LIKELY PLACE FOR DEATH AND HORRIFIC VIOLENCE EARLIER TODAY. SHE'S LYING IN THE DRIVEWAY, ITS OBVIOUS SHE WAS DECEASED. I SAID I SAW A BEIGE VAN LEAVE A LITTLE WHILE AGO. YEAH, A BLACK FELLOW LEFT IN THAT. WOODBRIDGE RESIDENT BILL SIMLER DESCRIBES THE MOMENTS AFTER THE SHOOOTING RAMPAGE. LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE WAS DRIVING THAT. NEIGHBORS RECOGNIZE THE GETAWAY VEHICLE THE SUSPECT STOLE FROM A HOME AFTER KILLING THREE AND WOUNDING TWO OTHERS. I'M SO SORRY, I'M SO SORRY. VICKI GRUVER SPEAKS TO HER FRIEND WHO IS IN THE CUL DE SAC. AN AUNT LIVED NEXT DOOR TO A WOMAN IN HER MID-80'S, A VICTIM IN THE TRIPLE HOMICIDE. SHE IS JUST A SWEET, LOVELY LADY AND COULDN'T HURT A FLY. GRUVER LIVES ACROSS THE STREET, BUT LUCKILY WASN'T HOME AT THE TIME, LEAVING JUST BEFORE THE SHOOTING STARTED. ALREADY BROKEN OUR TWO FRONT DOORS IN THINKING THERE WAS A SUSPECT IN THEM. MORE VICTIMS. THEY SHOT HER AND THERE'S MORE THAT ARE IN CRITICAL CONDITION, SUPPOSEDLY. AND GRATEFUL HE IS NOT ONE OF THE VICTIMS. PAT DONNELLY LIVES ACROSS THE STREET TO WHAT IS NOW A CRIME SCENE. I WAS GLAD I WAS INJURED -- UNINJURED. IT IS A SAD DAY. I KNOW THOSE PEOPLE. IT IS SURREAL FOR MANY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. A LOT OF FOLKS CAME BACK TO DISCOVER THAT THEY COULDN'T GET BACK TO THEIR HOMES, BECAUSE OF A TRIPLE HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOCKED IN AND INTENT ON FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WANT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDERS TO BE ARRESTED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
